Be a Mentor.
Make a Difference.
Nationally, each year an estimated 25,000 youth emancipate or “age out” of the foster care system, over 1,000 in Florida alone.
Young adults are often discharged from care with no one to call family and nowhere to go. Without a support network, many fall prey to homelessness, trafficking, incarceration, and/or drug abuse.
But we can change that!
Through consistent, one-on-one contact, mentors help youth explore their self-identity, talents, strengths, and career interests.
These relationships open their eyes to new experiences!
